I Grind My Way into a Cataclysm with an Evolution Panel

In the interstellar age, some humans can awaken supernatural creature avatars after turning eighteen.

These avatars may be mutated animals or fantastical races, capable of traversing higher-dimensional spacetime and obtaining power, wealth, and lifespans beyond ordinary people's imagination...

To qualify for awakening, students at interstellar schools pursue both academic and martial studies, competing fiercely in talent-and even more fiercely in resources.

Wen Jing, a transmigrator and impoverished student, nevertheless ranks first in her entire year.

Because while she undergoes the same training and studies as her peers, a panel in her mind keeps ticking up by +1.

[Basic Combat Techniques Mastered. Skill Points +1]
[Basic Movement Techniques Mastered. Skill Points +1]

Her only frustration is that, according to the panel, humans can receive a maximum of ten stat points-and she maxed hers out long ago.

Until the day she successfully awakens, when the scanner announces her results:

Name: Wen Jing
Species: Unknown Insect Family
Primal Body Rating: F

While everyone mocks the genius turned good-for-nothing, Wen Jing looks at the panel in her mind-

Her insect body really is F-rank, with every stat sitting at a pitiful 0.01. But its species limit alone reads: ∞.

Looking at the skill points she has stockpiled over eighteen years, Wen Jing smiles.

Who cares whether my talent is F-rank? As long as I can keep adding points without limit, I can evolve without limit!

Evolve [Antennae]: enhance every sense;

Evolve [Compound Eyes]: gain millisecond-level dynamic vision;

Evolve [Super Digestive System]: when injured, gnaw on some rocks and eat a little dirt instead of taking healing medicine;

Evolve [Fission Reproduction]: revival chances +1, +1, +1... A mere fatal wound is hardly worth mentioning;

Evolve... Huh? [Gestalt Consciousness]?!

When Wen Jing looks back, she discovers that she has become what other civilizations call a cosmic cataclysm.

They call her the Insect Empress.

(As always, I'm terrible at blurbs. Please read the actual story.

[Before You Read]

1. My own take on an interstellar setting: a satisfying progression fantasy set in a fictional universe unrelated to reality. Please don't draw real-world parallels.

2. This is NOT set in a conventional insect-race fiction universe. The heroine's human and insect bodies are two sides of the same being. She will evolve from an individual into the only insect race in this story's universe, with a gestalt consciousness: I am the swarm, and the swarm is me.

3. Plot-focused, with the heroine as the strongest. The romantic pairing involves plot foreshadowing, so no spoilers for now.

4. Some apparent bugs are foreshadowing.
